fzr600r: I'm feelin ya. My interview was last Monday. I'm wondering if I should call him back or just assume they found someone else that was more experienced. How was your interview? What is your background?

The more I talk to people, this seems to be a big issue.. guys coming straight out of tech school seem to have a hard time getting hired because no one wants to take a "chance" on un-experienced techs. I am at a loss right now.. I'm thinking maybe I should go back to school for something else. I have the G.I. Bill so it would be paid for. Decisions decisions...

You guys should be getting an offer soon if they want you. I got mine over the phone the next day after my interview. It took a month for me to start though with the background check and everything else. hang in there it may be different in other parts of the country.

I got my offer like you. After 1st interview next day had my 2nd and after we were done he said if i want the position it was mine. But it may not go like this for everybody. I think after a week you should know something.

Sorry to bust your bubble Rocky but it is hard to hire a person right out of a HVAC school with no field experience especially for the wages some people want, right now some well experienced techs are getting paid crap. I cannot get a friend hired with any commercial company because he has no commercial experience but he's been a residential tech for 11 years. Good Luck to you!

Hey guys, I've been with JLL for almost two years as a stationary engineer in Northern Virginia on the property management side. I made decision to leave my previous company after 18 years when JLL took over management of the building I was in. Best move I ever made. Hope to see you all in Austin next spring at the annual conference.

Sup guys. I think you are right, I'm just not going to get in this industry without experience..but how do I get experience without someone giving me a chance. I'm going to either have to find a unique opportunity where someone is willing to take me under their wings and work for nothing..probably. I'm exploring different opportunities (like electricians apprentice) but also still looking at HVAC stuff.

I was a weapons specialist in the Air Force so there was a lot of mechanical/electronics involved. That's another thing... no one seems to want to hire veterans..wtf!?
